Why not leave the law as it is for the lower limits, current laws for .08, and then somewhere like .12 you get automatic jail time? And I mean serious jail time like at least a year for your 1st offense.

Different governments - the Fed has the responsibility for the CC and drunk driving punishments. The provincial government is pulling a cheap stunt by legislating where they are not supposed to, probably in the hope of positive publicity (for being tough on DD) and for the cash grab...
